Good

Apricots are naturally low in purines, so they do not directly contribute to uric acid production. They also provide vitamin C and antioxidants, which may help lower uric acid levels slightly and reduce oxidative stress.

Bad

Many commercial apricot nectars contain added sugars, especially high-fructose corn syrup or other fructose-rich sweeteners. Fructose metabolism increases uric acid production, potentially triggering gout flares. Even natural fruit sugars (fructose) in concentrated form can be problematic in large amounts.
